I used a text editor. That's what text editors are for, no?

It has NOT, hence the source of my frustration and problems. I used
site.exe to edit the config file and added my email address as
postmaster. This has had no effect as it still tells me that I'm not the
owner of a list, and hence I can't add or remove people...

Sure, but I still can't edit anything... (unless I use a text editor...)

Thanks, but more assistance required.
